Packed full of nutrition, this vegan Green Pina Colada Smoothie is as delicious as anything you’d have on a beach in paradise! All you’ll taste is sweet pineapple and coconut.

The first time I had a real pina colada was on a beach in Thailand. It was served in a coconut shell, and I still remember how refreshing sipping on it was as I lay in the sun with my feet in the sand reading a book. For me, pina colada represents vacation!

And green smoothies represent busy days when I want to get a lot of nutrition in without taking a lot of time to do so.

Summer Rolls with Watercress, Mango, and Mint with Sesame-Garlic-Ginger Dipping Sauce are fresh and bright, and paired with a flavorful dipping sauce, completely irresistible! Summer rolls and sushi are a couple things that I love ordering out, but dont really think to make at home very often. Actually, Ive never even tried my hand at homemade sushi, but this is my second time making summer rolls, and I had forgotten just how easy and fun they are to whip up....

This Vanilla Mango Preserves recipe takes just an hour to make; it’s a delicious tropical twist on your favorite fruity jam and a great way to spiffy up your morning toast. So apparently mangos are like zucchini. When they’re in season, anyone with a tree will do just about anything to use them up. A friend of ours dropped off two pretty big boxes of mangos in less than a week, knowing they’re one of my favorites. It was such a sweet gesture that left us eating mangos hand-over-fist, and yet we still weren’t able to keep up with those mangos....

Paleo Mango Turkey Sloppy Joe Salad Bowls are full of flavor and a fun twist on a classic Sloppy Joe! Plus eating Sloppy Joes as a salad makes them a little less sloppy. There is a Costco located right across from where Mike works and he’s discovered the joy that is shopping there. (No joke.)...

Mango Meyer Lemon Margarita Mocktails are the perfect family-friendly non-alcoholic drink for a party! Just because I don’t drink alcohol doesn’t mean I’m not into cutsie little drinks. In fact, if the Shirley Temple wasn’t over-the-top sweet and entirely sugar-laden, it would probably be my drink of choice at restaurants....

One day a while ago, Mike came home with a box of mangos. He was so excited because he found them up at a local Indian market for me because I had asked him for Indian (Alphonso) mangos. I asked him where the mangos were from and he proudly exclaimed “The Indian market!” I checked the produce stickers and had to laugh when I saw that they were from Mexico. He still gets the best husband in the world award for that though....

One of my favorite things about moving to a new place and exploring the area is checking out the local restaurants. You know, seeing who has the best coffee and where I can grab a quick lunch on the go. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it. ;)...

You know the appetizers they bring to the table at Indian restaurants – usually papadums (lentil crackers) with dipping sauces and chutneys? When I started craving one of those chutneys and looking forward to it more than my actual meal, I knew I needed to make it at home....
